Something I've seen that confuses people is something about the Silent Hill town itself, and it isn't about the dark powers working within it.
What people are wondering is, why does a small resort New England town, probably of only a few thousand people, have all of the following?
-Two full-sized Hospitals (Maybe 4 if the Hospital in 4 is in Silent Hill)
-A Sanitarium/Mental Hospital (Silent Hill: Origins)
-A full modern electronic Prison (Silent Hill: Homecoming)
-A long Subway system (Silent Hill: Downpour)
My home city is about 11,000 and probably bigger than Silent Hill yet we don't have two full-sized Hospitals. Also, a Sanitarium and a Modern-Day Prison would probably scare tourists away, so why would Silent Hill have that? Finally, small, rural, towns in the U.S. do not have Subway systems yet, so that isn't geologically accurate.
Fans claim the new developers (and old ones) are ruining the series, but I think this says something else.
Silent Hill is growing. It's obvious that while the protagonists see the twisted version of the town, there is another normal town growing. Perhaps when Harry and James were visiting the town, Silent Hill was a nice tourist town (People did their best to pretend that the Sanitarium wasn't there), but I think it's changing. Perhaps the people who live their are trying to modernize it, hence the prison and subway system.
I think that keeping this in mind, developers will be able to include more and more things that you wouldn't find in a small rural town. It'll give us some newer areas.
